- BURNER.

Application filed Aprill 2a,

OTo all 'whom t may concern:

Be 1t known that I, WILLIAM Gr. LUT- 'r1NcER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jerome, in the county of Yavapai vand State of Arizona, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners, of

lwhich the following is a specicatiou This invention relates to stoves and more particularly to a burner therefor.

One of the objects of this invention resides in the provision of va burner which can readily be utilizedin connection with any type of stove. v Y

. Anotherobj ect of this `invention resides in the provision of a burner for stoves which consists of a certain embodiment of elements that coact in discharging vapor of a highly combustible quality.

A further object of this invention resides in the provision of a burnery for stoves which is. adapted to vaporize oil and water and Vcause the same to commingle to form a highly combustible product.

With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of elements to be more particularly set forth in the specication herewith and pointed out in the appended claim, it being understood that the right is reserved to resort to such changes in construction as come within the scope of the claim.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a front view of a portion of kitchen range showing the front wall to the fire-box thereof broken away and the burner comprising this invention in operative position therein; l

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1;

ig. 3 is an enlarged plan of the burner showing certain portions thereof in section. In the accompanying drawing the latter A designates an ordinary kitchenV range havinfr a fire-box B of the usual form.

Iesting inthe lire-box B of the aforesaid range is an asbestos pan 5 in which is disposed a metallic drip pan 6 for retaining a certain amount of oil therein to start the generation of steam within the generators 8 which are supported above the drip pan 6. The generators 8 comprise elongated and cylindrical tanks preferably horizontally disposed and arranged in parallelism and one of said generators or tanks serves as a superheater for the steam generated 1n the Specification of Letters Patent.

tank'into which the Water `is initially injected or delivered.

rl`he aforesaid steamv generators are connected adjacent their central positions by a pipe 10 Vand directed into the bore of one of .the generators is a perforated nozzle 12 that 1s connected to a water conduit 13V leading from a water reservoir 14. The nozzle 12 extends within the coacting steam generator or tank 8 through an end thereof and the walls of said nozzle within said generator or tank are provided therealong with minute openings so that substantially a splash system of steam generation will be effected.

Leading from the other generator is a conduit 15 which is adapted .to vconduct the steam that is generated in the generators to a nozzle 16 which is in close proximity to an oil discharging nozzle 17 at the terminal of an oil conduit 18 that is connected to an oil reservoir 20. Y o

The oil and water reservoirs are herein ldisclosed 4as being formed by dividing a tank in sections, but since the burner will operate where the oil and water are conveyed from separate tanks, I do not want to be limited to the use of a partition tank.

The conduits 13 and 18 are provided with valves 21 and 22 for regulating the flow therethrough and to also completely close said conduits when it is necessary to extinguish the' fire.

The conduits 13- and 18 are provided with unions 23 and 24 so that the burner and reservoirs can ,be disconnected.

With the aforesaid assemblage of elements the drip pan is lled with oil and ignited, then the water is injected into one of the generators 8 where it is converted into steam charged, the oil and vapor will commingle and form a highly combustible product.

As is clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings, it is to be noted that the conduit 15 leads from the end of the second tank 8 corresponding to the end of the first tank through which the nozzle extends. The conduit 15 extends outwardly and laterally with respect to said second tank 8 and is then continued rearwardly in close proximity to and substantially in parallelism Patented July 20, 1920.

with said second tank 8 to a point slightly l beyond the opposite end of said tank. The

conduit 15 is then disposed transversely relative to both of the tanks 8 and terminates slightly beyond the first. tank and is continued by a portion arranged outwardly of and in close proximity to saidiirst tank 8. substantially in parallelism therewith. This latter portion of the conduit 15 terminates inad'vance of the forward end of the irst named tank 8 or that end through which the nozzle extends and is continued by an inwardly 'disposed and laterally directed portion which leads to theV nozzle 16. The

nozzle 16 is positioned between the tanks 8 and extends inwardly thereof, as is clearly illustrated in Fig. 3. As shown in Fig. 3,

it is to be noted that the oil discharging nozzle 17 terminates in advance of the nozvzle 16 or, in other words, the discharge end of the nozzle 16 is inwardly of the discharge vthis particular` arrangement of the conduit V15, it will be at once understood that the steam passing through the conduit 15 to the nozzle 16 is prevented from condensing by' the heatradiatingr from the various parts of the assembled burner, whereby the etliciency of the device is maintained at a relatively high degree.

With this invention fully set forth, it is manifest that a burner is produced which is cheap of manufacture, readily operable and economical in the consumption of fuel.

Having thus described this invention what I claim is:-

A burner of the class describedV comprisi ing, fin combination, spaced tanks, each of said tanks being closed, a connection betweenthe topsof the tanks whereby one of said tanks discharges into the other, a nozzle leading from a source of water supply and discharging within one of the tanks through an end thereof and extending axially of the tank a material distance. therein, the walls of the nozzle within said tank being perforated, a conduit leading fromk the second tank and terminating in a nozzle positioned between the tanks and extending inwardly thereof and in close proximity thereto, said conduit leading from the end of thesecond tank corresponding to the end of the first tank through which the nozzle extends, said conduit extending around the tanks, the portions of the conduit, the nozzle and the tanks being substantially coplanar, and'an oil nozzle positioned between the tanks and in close proximity to the first named nozzle, the discharge end of the first named nozzle being inwardly Vof the discharge end of the second named nozzle.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
